This was a wonderful property in an awesome location. A hidden gem steps from Shem Creek, with close access to all the restaurants and bars. The host was super nice and even mailed me items that I left behind.

Great location, easy check in, and parking right by the front door! Unit is a workin in progress, needs attention in the bathroom such as towel bars and maybe safety grab bar in the shower, shower fixtures need updating with maybe the addition of a hand held shower head.Both bedrooms were great and well supplied with great linens. The kitchen was well appointed, however, could use updated set of complete flatware.Any of the deficiencies are out-weighed by the location!

Great Time in Mt. Pleasant

This was a great place for our 3 night stay in the Charleston area. Walking distance to Shem Creek’s restaurants and just a short drive to all of the beaches and into the city. I would definitely stay here again!

Will visit again!

Cozy stay in a cute well-kept home. Nice little backyard area for when the dogs needed to stretch their legs. Nice outside seating area. Best of all was the location! So close to everything. House was a bit small for 4 people and pets, but definitely enough space for my husband and I. We will visit again.

Location, Location, Location!

The property was in an ideal location & a short walk to restaurants & activities. And the fenced in yard was a plus since we had our fur babies with us for the vacay. We were here for the Christmas holidays visiting family & the property was ideal to have some family over for dinner a few nights & to enjoy the Shem Creek area.

Great Little Spot

Cottage was a perfect location for our trips into Charleston and out to Sullivan's Island each day. Cute and functional kitchen, comfortable beds. Great little back patio - wish our dog didn't have to 'go' out front on a leash - but that's the only thing!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Shuford

Host profile image
I am semi retired from the medical business and my wife is a nurse at MUSC. We own several properties next door and are big fans of this area. We have one son and live in the old village in Mt Pleasant. In fact our home is only 4 blocks away from this property. Though we have recently acquired this property it is our goal to provide the best experience possible for your stay. The previous owner has done a fantastic job renovating and setting the tone of happy clients for the last 3 years. We plan to carry on that same level of service in hopes that you return for many more visits to our wonderful city.

Why they chose this property

You cannot get a better location than this one. A private house one block from Shem Creek. The beaches are close, the heart of Charleston is a 12 minute drive and inside of 3 blocks are coffee shops, restaurants, a beverage super store, antique malls and more. All this and a very nice private property with outdoor living space.

What makes this property unique

Clean, modern and Location, Location, Location.
